Unable to automatically download/install artifact 'Ghostscript' from sources listed in .../.julia/...Artifects.toml

General Usage
1

I encounter this error using Julia 1.9.0 when adding a local package. The whole error message is

   Resolving package versions...

  Downloaded artifact: Ghostscript
ERROR: Unable to automatically download/install artifact 'Ghostscript' from sources listed in '/home/username/.julia/packages/Ghostscript_jll/OPSVb/Artifacts.toml'.

But on the same machine (Debian), I have no problem running wget https://pkg.julialang.org/artifact/4883a6685d86b068da934537a444a6d170d71730 and get the file within seconds.

I tried again with julia 1.8.5 and the same problem happens. I think it is somehow related to my company network.

I tried the same thing on a Windows laptop, on the same network, and it works. No downloading problem. I tried again on a Ubuntu 20.04.6 laptop, same error message as before.

I managed to manually install this artifact by using Pkg.Artifacts.download_artifact() function, along with information found in the Artifacts.Toml file in Ghostscript_jll.jl GitHub repo.

First, download the tarball using another method, then spin up a local server, serve the tarball at http://localhost:port/filename, then use this url as one of the arguments in download_artifact()
